    This is the ultimate Gameboy

    I love everything about the Chromatic. It feels amazing in my hand like the Gameboy Color did (to this day the most ergonomic Gameboy for me)

    Cartridges lock in well and the System recognizes most games the moment you put them in. Updating the Device is easy and not scary at all and shipping was completely free which helped a lot for a European customer like me.

    Brilliant Handheld!

    The perfect Gameboy! Feels perfect in the hand with a sturdy weight and build quality. Crisp (and loud) audio and an amazing looking screen.

    Amazing

    The chromatic is a high end well designed way for anyone to enjoy Gameboy in current times. Seemlesy plays both Gameboy and Gameboy color cartridges flawless while offering perfect pixel replication on a backlit screen making games look better. The optional power core offers a usb-c charging ability which furthers the advancement while respecting the past.

    Retro nostalgia

    This this is pretty awesome. It feels great in the hands. The colors are perfect. It reminds me of playing my first GBC. The color selection of Chromatics was hard to choose from because they all look fantastic, ultimately I picked the one that looked like B-MO. My only complaint is that the rechargeable battery pack isn't standard in all models.
